In times of need, communities look for support and compassion. Credit unions’ acts of kindness and community service are heartwarming reminders of the power of collective goodwill. Let’s explore the many ways these credit unions are making a difference.
MECU
MECU installed a Blessing Box to help Mercy’s free clinics. This box is regularly filled with food donations for those in need. It’s a simple yet profound way to ensure no one goes hungry. MECU’s Caring for Community Foundation partners with Selfless Hands to make this possible. Their effort is a shining example of collective goodwill.
Financial Builders
Financial Builders brought joy to Eastern Elementary’s Second Annual Kindy 500. The event was a delightful mix of handmade race cars, checkered flags, and excited kindergarteners. Families, community members, and even mascots joined in the fun. This event celebrated the end of the school year and a strong community spirit.
Firefighters Community Credit Union
Firefighters Community Credit Union (FFCCU) raised an impressive $7,021 for The Littlest Heroes. The funds were raised through candy bar sales. The Littlest Heroes provides crucial financial support to families battling pediatric cancer. FFCCU’s contribution ensures families can stay home and keep their lights on during challenging times.
Heartland Credit Union
Heartland Credit Union awarded a CASH Grant to Frances Houseman of Maize High. The grant funded a pollinator garden project, complete with rain barrels and plants. This initiative aims to attract monarch butterflies, fostering environmental education and sustainability.
Jersey Shore Federal Credit Union
Jersey Shore Federal Credit Union’s candy bar campaign raised $550 for Gilda’s Club. This organization supports those affected by cancer. Thank you, Jersey Shore FCU!
